Texture Tip: For extra creamy eggs, add a splash of milk or cream when whisking the eggs.
Add-Ins: Feel free to add crispy bacon, sautéed mushrooms, or bell peppers for extra flavor.
Cheese Variations: Swap cheddar for other cheeses like mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or pepper jack for different flavor profiles.
Make it Spicy: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the scramble for a spicy kick.
Meal Prep: While this dish is best served fresh, you can store leftovers in the fridge for 1-2 days. Reheat gently to avoid overcooking the eggs.
